It’s a different type of entertainment as GMA mixes time-limited games, buzzer-beater performances, and many more interactive surprises in the original countdown variety show “TiktoClock,” which begins airing July 25.
The program is hosted by the newest tropa — comedienne and award-winning actress Pokwang, Sparkle artist and Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo, and host, triathlete, and trivia man Kuya Kim Atienza.
Pokwang shares that they are excited to have a live audience on the show, “Na-miss namin na muling makita sa personal ang ngiti at saya ng mga tao! Excited akong mapanood at ma-enjoy ng lahat ang mga masasayang laro at ang pamimigay namin ng papremyo.”
Kuya Kim guarantees fans that they will love the program, “Kakaiba ang show na ito dahil time-based. Hindi kayo mabo-bore. Mabibitin kayo pagkatapos ng bawat episode! Ang goal namin is tumagal ang show for ten years kaya gagalingan talaga namin at laging 101% ang energy.”
Rabiya admits she feels pressured but is also grateful for the opportunity to work with her co-hosts, “Grabe ‘yung kaba at takot ko dahil haligi na sila sa industriya, pero pina-feel nilang part ako ng family. Gina-guide nila ako sa hosting pati sa personal na buhay.
Tinutulungan nila ako to be better every day.”
“TiktoClock” is a one-of-a-kind variety show where every minute counts. The main segment of the program is Oras Mo Na, wherein two singing contestants will compete in every episode and they only have one minute to impress the judges. While a giant clock is ticking, the contenders must showcase their all-out talent before the countdown ends.
But if the judges are impressed, any one of them can press the Pause Timer Button and let the contestants finish their performances. To make it even more thrilling, the show has three judges and only one Pause Timer Button. They can race towards that button or argue whether to hit it or not.
Whoever succeeds in this round will battle against the defending winner and get a chance to become the singing champion!
Aside from this competition, the hosts will play amusing studio games with celebrity guests for Hale Hale Hoy. The audience will team up with stars and if their bet wins, they take home the jackpot.
But wait there’s more! During a segment, an audio stinger will sound to signal Taympers from whatever is happening. The hosts will identify a Taympers item of the day, and in 10 seconds, the studio audience must go to the middle of the stage if they have the item. And once successful, they will share the prize pot.
“TiktoClock” viewers can also be part of the Dance Raffle. Every episode, the TikTropa will teach short and easy trending dance moves to the studio audience. A dance camera will highlight everyone while enjoying the dance craze. Once the music stops, the person in front of the camera will win instant prizes.
But the TikTropang Bahay or the home viewers must not fret because they can also post their versions on their social media pages with the hashtag #TiktoClockDanceRaffle. Select uploads will be featured in the show and be chosen as the hosts’ favorite.
Don’t miss the first-ever countdown variety show “TiktoClock” — under the helm of Louie Ignacio — every Monday to Friday on GMA.
Viewers abroad can also catch the program via GMA Pinoy TV.
